What will it take for all the Food Companies to start labeling all their Genetically Modified Organisms?

It would take good evidence that GMO foods differ from their natural counterparts in terms of safety or nutrition. The best evidence available currently suggests that GMO foods are equivalent to natural foods in these terms. The food is therefore unlabeled, because the information a label would convey is irrelevant as far as consumer choice goes.
That's the science end of it anyway. I can't speak much to the legal end.

Why is the biotech industry afraid of labeling GMO's?
They are afraid of labeling them because the public is starting to get afraid of the affects of GM foods on their bodies. Labeling them would make the public aware, and since a huge percentage of American foods contain GMOs, businesses could lose tons of money.

What is Ctrl plus Q?
Ctrl plus Q, often written as Ctrl-Q or ^Q, is a key combination used to send a command to an application. It is accomplished by pressing the key labelled CTRL (labeling will vary with non-English keyboards) and holding it pressed while typing the letter Q, then releasing both keys.Keyboard shortcuts (often implement with key combinations) offer a fast alternative to using the mouse or more verbose commands to the experienced user.No standard meaning is assigned to Ctrl-Q; the interpretation is entirely in the responsibility of the application with which the command is used. Traditionally, Ctrl-Q would be used on text terminals to continue text flow after suspending it with Ctrl-S. Some terminal applications or console and command windows may still be inclined to interpret Ctrl-S and Ctrl-Q in this manner for traditional reasons.
How do you wire a 12 lead motor in star delta?
This is a 3-phase, dual-voltage motor. The 12 leads represent six different windings. For the higher voltage, pairs of windings are connected in series, then the three resulting pairs are connected into a delta configuration to tie to the power source. For the lower voltage, the pairs of windings are instead connected in parallel before combining them into the delta configuration. The windings MUST be combined in the proper order AND in the correct phase for it to work. Mistakes result in great quantities of smoke being released! Each of the leads should have a label, such as T1, T2, T3, etc. It will be either an adhesive label or sometimes printed in ink right on the wire. There is no standard labeling scheme, so each manufacturer always shows the connections for each voltage on the motor nameplate. There is no real way to guess at this, if the nameplate is missing contact the manufacturer for a diagram.
How is insulation installed?
Well Depending on what the form of insulation is, the installation can be different. Typical fiberglass loose fill and paper backed insulation is what you usually see in homes, mostly pink but sometimes yellow and other colors depending on the manufacturer. Fiberglass insulation is easy to install by placing between the studs in a wall, paper side out, held in place by staples along the extended tab on the paper side. Loose fill is installed exactly how it sounds it would be, loosely packed in open holes, usually in attics and vent spaces in roofs to help with areas that are not able to be insulated with other products. But there are other forms of insulation still, like but not limited to; recycled newspaper that is blown into place by professionals using a blend of water, glue and fire retardant chemicals for safety, foam sealant insulation that is an epoxy rosin that expands and hardens over time to fill small gaps and holes in a structures exterior, and also Styrofoam board insulation that comes in different thicknesses and densities for stronger or lighter insulation as with all insulation that is stated by a reference number for the product designated the "R" Value for labeling use. I hope that this was helpful in answering your question.

Who is involved in the controversy of genetically modified food?
A lot of people and groups are involved in the GMO controversy. Some of them are: scientists (both for and against). governments, government regulatory agencies, consumers (large numbers who do not want to eat GMO foods), groups who want GMO food labeling, organic growers, corporations (Monsanto, Dow, Syngenta, and others), and many others.
What are some examples of gm food available to buy?
The availability of GM (genetically modified) food available depends on where you live. In some parts of the world, GM foods are banned for human consumption. In the US, most GM foods are considered by FDA (Food and Drug Administration) to be equivalent in nutritional value and safey to their non-GM counterparts. Most foods made in the US that contain soy, corn, or canola oil contain GMOs (genetically modified organisms), and you can't be sure unless the label says they DON'T contain these, because there is no rule to ensure GMO containing foods are labeled as such in the US (GMO labeling is voluntary in US). Some GM zucchini, apples, papayas, sugar beets, and milk are sold in supermarkets. In fact, it is hard to know which foods have GMO's and which do not, in the US.
When did food labeling began?
Regulation of food began as early as the 1800s and food labeling regulation arose out of that. Recently, requiring GMOs to be labeled has been a major debate, mostly between consumers and companies who produce GMOs, food companies, and grocers. To this date, GMO ingredients are not required to be listed on food labels.
Where can you buy genetically modified food?
Most of the vegetables we buy today are genetically modified. The "corn" that we buy is a hybrid. Hybrids are genetically modified to be different than their original ancestors. If you are looking for original vegetables, look for "heirloom" vegetables. Those are the ancestors of the things we eat today. Vegetables that are transgenic, meaning they were created in a lab by taking a gene from one organism (usually a bacteria) and inserting it into another organism (corn, soy, etc.) are not yet sold as fresh vegetables in grocery stores. This will no doubt change soon because a GMO variety of sweet corn has been approved for commercial planting. Please note: The explanation about transgenic manipulation above is greatly simplified.
Where can I find personalized stickers?
There are certain ways how you can get personalised stickers, such as going to labeling companies and by giving them a sample or a design of what you want printing off. If you're unsure about going to one of these companies and would rather do it over the internet, companies such as vistaprint can get you a good deal.
